Hagegraf
Hagegraf is a large city of the duergar in Deepearth and is situated under the lands of Vaasa. The city’s troops patrol the Long Walk, keeping it mostly clear of monsters and extracting tolls from travelers. The city is a place of never-ending, backbreaking work and hardship, as befits a place whose people are dedicated to the worship of the god of endless toil, Deep Duerra.
The city takes up the sides of an immense cavern, and resembles a massive arena enclosed by a circle of fortresses. Numerous large stalactites hang down from the cavern’s ceiling, linked by a network of bridges; it is here that the city’s nobility live.
The city is home to the massive clock known as the Akrizoth Horologe. The engineering marvel is acclaimed as one of the wonders of the Underdark, and is a major tourist attraction.
Inhabitants
All non-dwarves are welcome to visit the city—provided they can pay the ten gold piece entry tax for each wagon. There is also a twenty gold piece exit tax per person; those who attempt to leave without paying end up in the city’s dungeons. As the duergar are known to be avid slavers, caravans full of creatures of all sorts leave on a regular basis for the chattel markets of Nym'Qeldan, Sverspume, and Umberweb.Region: The Shallows
